Here's my composition "Kanakangi- The origin of Raamamaatya"
Raamamaatya is considered the father of the Melakarta system, the theory system we follow in Carnatic Music. 

The entirety of my music expertise leans towards western music. 
But, my heart has always inched towards the marvels of Indian Music time and again.
The sad part? Indian music neither embraced western notation nor did it take over the world with its own notation system. 
So that leaves hybrid composers, such as myself, an opportunity for innovation, and a void to conquer. 

So, I sought out to learn it, experiment with it, and to innovate within it.  How better, to do it than to follow a path that I've had the most experience within Music? Composing. I was composing even before I began teaching.
The foundation for this endeavor began with me trying to learn the Carnatic Bamboo Flute.  I still play and practice it and I try to keep my average skill. Still an amateur though. 
I put in a huge amount of time for research and learning before I sat down to compose. I loved every bit of it.

You’ll find my research here in this article.

The title of the composition is "Kankangi- The origin of Raamamaatya" and not the other way around because I believe that the music is what brought him alive.
